I don't know how they wound up with my data. Since AT&T sent me the notice, I assume Equifax got my information from AT&T and when they - Equifax - discovered that my data had been compromised they notified AT&T who subsequently notified me. Given that my data has been compromised, I have to decide whether the risk of having data protection from this company outweighs the risk that the compromised data poses.
